    can't the US just go: Ok... from now on.. there is no debt. .we're starting fresh. Sorry to whoever we owe money to. But we got nukes and shit. So ha-ha. Hope it doesn't ruin our credit rating or anything. won't that help? I guess you'd still have heaps of unemployed people and illegal immigrants though.

But not just the US... what if the whole world "started fresh"? Could we do that? How would we do that? Would that work? What would happen? I mean, for god's sake, can the US EVER really "solve" our national debt? :omg:

Not to mention that America would never be able to borrow again. That would require the government to balance the budget also, which they seem completely unwilling to do. They can't tax their way out of a deficit, because that kills the private sector that they depend so heavily on for tax revenue. In other words, they would have to cut back on entitlement spending and pork projects....wait...it sounds like a great plan. Let's do it.

    I know you have a thread about inflation, but people should realize that this debt is directly related to the threat of inflation. China owns enough of our debt, that if they were to cash in we would be forced to print money at an astonishing rate. This is basically what caused the hyper inflation of the Weimar Republic, except they were trying to pay reparations. We can't pay for everything that we've promised with t-bills. It's been tried.

    This planet has — or rather had — a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn’t the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.
